John and Susana will always remember this Christmas.

The Australia-based couple decided to come to Samoa to get married so they can be with their families and friends during this holiday season.

And celebrate they did yesterday.

The beautiful bride is the daughter of Niukapeli and Leataosina Petelo.

She hails from the village of Levī Sale’imoa.

The groom is the son of Matauaina Pula and Tiafelelea’i Tanuvasa.

He hails from the villages of Salepoua’e Sale’imoa, Fasito’o-uta and Nofoali’i.

The ceremony was conducted by Father Lu Collins at the Sale’imoa Catholic Church before they moved to a reception held at the St. Therese Retreat Centre Tofamamao at Leauva’a.
